The Composition
Cedrus Intense opens with a bright and slightly green introduction. The top notes of cardamom, crushed leaves, and lemon create a vivid, aromatic freshness that sets the stage for the fragrance’s deeper layers.
The heart unveils the richness of rose, interwoven with the earthy intensity of cypriol. The leathery nuance of the rose brings depth and a tactile quality to the composition, anchoring the middle phase of the scent.
The base presents an opulent blend of Chinese cedarwood, Indian sand vetiver, and Australian sandalwood, complemented by Ambrofix and Akigalawood. This trio of woods highlights the diverse characteristics of each variety, from smoky and dry to creamy and warm. Together, they create a foundation that is both radiant and enduring.
An Artistic Collaboration
Cedrus Intense is the result of a collaboration between two renowned perfumers, Quentin Bisch and Louise Turner. Their combined vision reimagines the essence of cedarwood, taking it to new olfactory heights. The fragrance builds on the legacy of the original Cedrus, emphasizing its woody core while exploring new textures and contrasts.
This creative partnership underscores Chloé commitment to the art of perfumery, where each fragrance in the Atelier des Fleurs collection serves as both a standalone masterpiece and a harmonious addition to the broader series.
